Superhero

      This isn't a story about people with superpowers because, quite frankly, I don't find those interesting or even impressive. If you are given amazing powers and then decide to do amazing things with them, what's so special about that? It's the ability to do amazing things with mediocre powers that's truly deserving of the title "superhero." 
      Take Little Tim for example. He's never been much of an athlete, but somehow, by some twist of fate, he managed to score the winning goal for his team in the championship game. 
      Now I don't know about you, but I find this far more impressive than anything Superman's done. I mean, sure, he can fly, and pick up cars, and  fight villains, and such, but that doesn't make him super, only his powers. Take those away and he's certain to be nothing but a Little Tim himself, except that you haven't heard of him scoring any championship goals.
